UNSPSC 50535337: Dried non GMO lindo peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO lindo peaches that have been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50535337 Dried non-GMO lindo peaches, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within the broader school nutrition and institutional food-service ecosystem state and local governments buy. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not specifically solicit dried peaches; instead, they tag comprehensive grocery and fresh-produce contracts that span over 1,100 line items across fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and dry goods. State and local governments procure food products through their nutrition departments and purchasing offices to meet National School Lunch Program compliance, Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and Buy American Provision requirements (typically 51 percent domestic agricultural content). Issuing bodies include city and county boards of education, county health and human services departments, and county commissioners' offices. School districts dominate the recent activity, with contracts supporting breakfast and lunch programs, food warehousing, and delivery to multiple school sites on firm-fixed pricing through annual contract periods.

Recent opportunities span Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (posting BNB052266 on behalf of Bridgeport Board of Education) released an IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items with a June 30, 2026 due date and July 1, 2026 contract start; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (posting HHS0017449) solicited food and consumables for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB with proposals due July 11, 2026 and a historical annual value of $1.5 million; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (posting PE67080NONST2027000000013) posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida (posting ITB2600289) released an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17,832,659.90 over three years, bids due June 25, 2026. None of these solicitations specifically name dried peaches as a line item, indicating the code sees limited standalone procurement activity at the state and local level. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor school nutrition cooperative purchasing vehicles and food-service aggregation contracts where dried fruit may appear as one component within multi-item awards.
